    It has been seen that sex education has resulted in better health outcomes. The WHO technical report 2006 cited evidence of HIV/AIDS and sex education interventions having repeatedly reduced risky behaviour of young people in developing countries. Of course education, by itself, is not adequate. It must be backed by youth-friendly, gender-equitable health services.

    But it seems that before we educate our youth, we need to educate our policymakers first on the importance of sex education.
